The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-07-21

AFTER paying high compliment to
country people in general, Saturday, Presi-
dent Cleveland said: Country people
ought to be treated with consideration by
you newspaper men," We always do so, Mr..
President. Nobody but newspaper man,
who has learned all the dirty, political
ropes of the city, can appreciate the
good, virtuous, honest ways of country
people," They are, after all, the back
bone of government, and sort of balance
wheel against the isms, the fraud, the ras-
cality and the corruption of the great
cities. The president spoke the truth, as
he generally does.

NO GEOLOGICAL SURVEY FOR TEXAS.

The most careful examination of the
plan of operations for the present year
of the geological survey, as submitted by
Major Powell, director of the geological
survey to the secretary of the interior,
fails to discover any mention made of
Texas IN this plan. The state has no
cause, though, to resent such an ignoring
The United States government offered
Texas a large moneyed help,and the earn
eat cooperation of the United States
geological corps, if Texas would appoint
her representative to work for
her in this particular line, dis
cover her own hidden treasures and
thus vastly enrich the state; but the TWEEN
tieth legislature said no. Headed by that
Gladstonian statesman, Bell of Cooke, the
brilliant and progressive majority in the
house defeated a most excellent bill, call
ing into existence this much needed
official. Oh! but they were wise and able
statesmen, those who then voted no. The
state owes them debt she can only repay
by erecting to their memory, with part
of the pitiful sum needed for the salary OF
such an official, a monument moulded
after the fashion of donkey of the most
detected type, and inscribed all over in
letters that can be read by him that runs
therefrom: "In sacred memory to Bell of
Cooke, Pamela Jones, ct al, of those
staunch defenders of the states treasury,
who denied money to most righteous
cause to purchase their own assanimity."

Gov. McEnery, like some of bis or
gans, seems to hold that the calling of
constitutional convention in 1878 was
a condemnation of the Nichols admin
istration. Such is not the fact, 5. d.
McEnery and his friends in North
Louisiana defeated the efforts of Nc
Cranie and others to call a convention
and the scale was turned in favor of a
convention by the influence of How
ards Lottery in New Orleans and
Southern Louisiana. During the ad-
ministration of Nichols the charter of
the lottery was repealed and the act of
repeal was signed by the Governor and
Howard bad to get re-charter from
the constitutional convention. The
lottery company had more to do with
abridging the term of Nichols than all
the bulldozers. Let the truth of history
be indicated. What has been done
against the lottery monopoly during the
reign of McEnery ?-Ouachita Tele-

It is related of President Lincoln,

It is related of President Lincoln,
that when a certain person, recon-
meDded to him for appointment, was
the only fit one forlthe position, he said
that the office had better be abolished
then, for that person might die. The
McEneryites would have the citizens of
this State believe that he is the only
suitable person to be their Governor; if
SO the office ought to be abolished-in
fact, many think, if it is to De run as it
has been for several years, the people
would be better off if it were abolished
anyhow.

neuve OrtegO, aged 63 years and 2
months. He leaves an aged wife and a
son to mourn his loss. The following
lines are dedicated to his memory:
When forced to part from those we love,
Though sure to meet tomorrow,
We yet kind of anguish prove,
And feel tonch OF sorrow,
But, oh, what words can paint the fears,
When from those friends we sever,
Perhaps to part for months--for years
Perhaps to part forever!
